URL in Subject (2002)

Good afternoon,

When I want to forward a nice url to another collegue or friend I find that it's not possible. My Outlook gives a warning which tells me that 'my message has not been sent, and that the access to the following insecure attachment has been blocked' (XXX.url).
How do I put of this securityrule?

When I cut and paste this line into my message everything's okay, but it's more work for my other collegues (which don't know much about computers and everythings has to 'just work' <img src=/S/bash.gif border=0 alt=bash width=35 height=39>

So, if anybody can tell me how to solve this problem you would make me a very happy person!

Re: URL in Subject (2002)

This problem arises when you right-click and Copy Shortcut. Basically, you can either copy from the address line, or if you need to right-click Copy Shortcut, paste it into Word, then copy and paste from Word into Outlook. I can't find any other way to prevent Outlook from attaching a .url file (and then immediately blocking it). But, bear in mind that just as it is blocked on your computer, it will be blocked on the receiving end if the user has Outlook 2000 with SP2 or later, or Outlook 2002, or in many cases, Outlook Express 6. Explaining to your colleagues and everyone's recipients how to change the security settings for attachments is waaaaay more complicated than my two-step method. <img src=/S/laugh.gif border=0 alt=laugh width=15 height=15>
